Louise Weard's debut film, Castration Movie, started as a concise, 90-minute narration of queer and trans experiences in Vancouver. However, it has expanded to a sprawling four-and-a-half hours for part one, with plans to extend to over 12 hours total. The film features intense, raw storytelling that shifts abruptly between characters, such as an incel and a trans sex worker. Shot on a nostalgic Hi8 camera, it blends various cinematic styles while grappling with heavy topics, prompting discussions around its graphic content and unique narrative form.
Castration Movie is a crowdfunded cinematic project by Louise Weard, transforming from a 90-minute portrait to a 12-hour exploration of queer and trans narratives.
Weard's film not only delves into the lives of his characters with raw honesty but also challenges traditional cinematic storytelling through its ambitious length and content.
